Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)

1 lemon, juiced (for garnish)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, feta cheese, cream cheese, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined and create a creamy filling.

      Butterfly the Chicken: Take each chicken breast and carefully slice horizontally along one side, creating a pocket. Be careful not to cut all the way through.

        Stuff the Chicken: Generously fill each chicken breast pocket with the spinach and feta mixture. Use toothpicks to seal the edges if needed.

          Sear the Chicken: In an oven-safe skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Place the stuffed chicken breasts in the skillet and sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

            Bake the Chicken: Once seared, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

              Rest and Serve: Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

                Enjoy: Serve your delicious Healthy Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a wholesome meal.
